I wasn’t going to let our new roof space go to waste. We installed a new array of solar panels. These panels will be offsetting the heating load of the hangar. This winter (2020-2021) we heated it with a baseboard heater and two space heaters. I am working on getting an air to water heat […]
We claimed last tracks on Crescent Ridge for the season. When we first planned the last NH AMC family trip for end of March at Crescent Ridge, that sounded like a reasonable idea. After all, it worked in 2018 and 2019. Well, the snow this year just hasn’t been up to snuff. We had three […]
Isaac skied Hillman’s Highway from top to bottom this weekend. This gully is just outside of Tuckerman Ravine. It is a 1,300 foot drop with 30-40° slope.

So this turned into just a fun ski together. We had planned to ski the White Mountain National Forest Beaver […]
I have completely revamped how this website handles photo albums. Let me know if you find broken links or anything else not working.
For the second day of our mini-vacation, we met up with Cheri at Jackson. Isaac and Cheri both like skate skiing, but I figured a whole day of skate skiing would be too much for him. So we did half the day classic and half the day skating. The previous day, we had cross country […]
Isaac had school vacation at the end of February as usual. Unlike usual, though, we couldn’t spend the week on an epic ski adventure with the grandparents. So, instead, I took two days off work and met up with friends in the Whites for cross country skiing. We actually brought our Telemark skis too, but […]
